Ideal for transporting and storing of mostly heavy and bulky loads, pallets boxes have found increased adoption in the packaging industry, as it provides great protection, stackability, and prevents transparency. Pallet boxes will continue to be attractive in terms of market position in the coming years. Increasing focus towards efficient manufacturing operations will drive the global pallet boxes market during the forecast period 2018-2028.

The pallet boxes market is estimated to create an opportunity at a moderate growth rate, registering a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period and reach a market valuation of US$ 3,010.8 Mn by 2028 end. Pallet boxes demand is at an all-time high, and with the increasing penetration of pallet boxes in the agriculture, construction as well as logistics sector in emerging economies, the market is projected to be highly lucrative, with stiff competitive.

Plastic and Block Pallet Boxes Most Preferred Variants

FMI projects increasing adoption of plastic pallet boxes as bulk packaging option in the coming years. Lighter in weight and compatible compared to wooden and metal ones, pallet boxes made of plastic maximizes volume utilization of goods during distribution and keeps produce fresh, when used for transportation food grains, fruits, and vegetables. Plastic pallet boxes are likely to find a place among processed food manufacturers too, depending on their utility.

However, low or negligible adoption of advanced packaging technologies like palletization in emerging economies like India, owing to high costs involved in its incorporation in industries and poor supply chain infrastructure, could inversely impact the growth of pallet boxes market. Additionally, rise in pallet pooling and manufacturers adopting plastic pallet boxes, considering its longer life, are some key factors restraining the overall global pallet boxes market.

In terms of structural design, block pallets are the most preferred, owing to easy maneuverability of loaded pallets from all four sides, which the pallet jacks easily pickup, at store level. Inconvenient handling of stringer pallets leading to considerable pallet damage is making it unpopular among manufacturers and warehouses. Customized pallets are expected to present lucrative market opportunities, catering to unique customer needs. Customizations including integrating RFID tracking software, pallets in specific colors, and load and material specifications will further drive the global market for customized pallet boxes.
